Under warm 2700K interior light Ivory shifts subtly: takes on a yellow cast, reads darker; in north-facing or shaded light it is virtually unchanged. Overall drift across common illuminants is small (max ΔE ≈ 2.1), so it is a lighting-stable choice.
#fff9e0 — ΔE 2.1, shifts subtly: takes on a yellow cast, reads darker#ffffeb — ΔE 0.7, is virtually unchanged#fffff0 — ΔE 0.0, is virtually unchanged#fffff3 — ΔE 0.4, is virtually unchangedAgainst white it measures 1.01:1 and against black 20.81:1, so black text is the stronger pairing. That pairing passes WCAG AA for body text. Avoid white text on this color entirely.
One color explored: close hues with real lightness and chroma structure, so the palette is the anchor through value rather than a set of colors.
#fffff0 · #cacabd · #a3a397 · #7d7d73 · #5a5a51 · #383831
The anchor's neighbours on the wheel — everything shares an undertone, so the chord carries color without anything having to be muted to get along.
#fffff0 · #fce9b3 · #f1d0a4 · #e3b999 · #d3a491 · #bf908a
The mid-gap pairing — sage and mustard, terracotta and olive. A foil rotated 40–65° toward warm or cool: too far to be kin, too near to argue, carried by temperature and a deliberate value offset.
#fffff0 · #a9c4b4 · #a1a072 · #568d6f · #66653b · #334e3e
One deliberately opposed voice — a single restrained counterpoint across the wheel, or temperature against temperature where the anchor is too muted to carry a loud opposite.
#fffff0 · #dbdbca · #b9b89a · #96967c · #625f8f · #383828
The anchor as the only color in the room. True neutrals or complement-warmed near-neutrals let it stay dominant.
#fffff0 · #dfdfe7 · #9d9d93 · #5e5e63 · #28271d · #010102
This color as a ground rather than a subject — its own restraint held across a narrow value band, carrying one saturated voice from the opposite temperature.
#fffff0 · #c9c9c3 · #9c9c95 · #23231a · #040400 · #cfca4e
The opposite hue on the perceptual wheel, tempered to field strength — warm/cool tension without vibration.
#fffff0 · #dedeef · #9998c1 · #5b5887 · #252144 · #010100
The complement's two neighbours instead of the complement itself — strong contrast with a lower clash risk.
#fffff0 · #dedeef · #859fc2 · #6f517b · #102745 · #030004
Three hues spaced evenly around the wheel; the anchor leads and the other two are held at supporting strength.
#fffff0 · #d1e3ec · #74a5ba · #7d4d67 · #3c182d · #00050b
Two complementary pairs offset by 90° — the richest chord, kept usable by a strict lightness hierarchy.

#CFCFC2 · #A2A296 · #76766C · #4D4D45 · #282821
Its high lightness and low chroma make it a natural background or large-surface color. In palettes it pairs most predictably with its tonal ramp and analogous neighbors; reserve the complementary hue for small, deliberate contrast.
